kowen kinda stole my thunder, but they are a MUCH bigger failure this gen in the "making money" quest than the "arbitrary sales war" quest. In fact, the whole "making money" thing is something that the seeming majority of Sony fans on this site don't want to even discuss. Why? Because it's been THAT huge of a failure in that regard.
The PS3 was a deeply flawed project for a business to undertake. It was birthed in arrogance and has contributed to a near total financial collapse of a once dominant company. The fact that they've still eeked out some great gaming experiences out of it is a testament to a dedicated fanbase and some very talented developers. I'm really curious to see what they could possibly do next gen, as the direction chosen for the PS2 and definitely PS3 just won't cut it next gen.
